What Is ScienceFest?
ScienceFest is designed to foster scientific literacy while educating children about protecting the environment, conserving natural resources, and using alternative fuels and technologies. Educators are planning a day packed with exciting exhibits, presentations, and hands-on demonstrations all developed to show the importance of scientific applications in the environment. The hands-on demonstrations use basic geology, biology, physical science, health and environmental sciences to teach the children how these impact everyday life.

The bonus for teachers - ScienceFest meets your educational curriculum goals and IT'S FREE.

4th and 5th grade students statewide are invited to participate in this annual event. Each year the event drew over 4,500 students. Visit the Archives button to the left for a sample of the event from previous years.

ScienceFest is a positive contribution to the environmental education of Oklahoma’s students. By exposing them to the arena of science, we not only enhance their awareness of science and possibly stimulate some to pursue careers in science, we also help them be better citizens and stewards of the environment.

This event is held at the Oklahoma City Zoological Park and Botanical Garden. There is no fee to participate in ScienceFest, but registration in advance is required.
